First off, congratulations to Sam Kee for winning the Asia
Championship Qualifiers 2013! Best wishes to him as he will represent Malaysia yet
again in a battle between giants. Now to my side of the event, I piloted Verz
and scrubbed to 3-Axis Fire Fist. What attributed to my loss was my greed
clouding my own rational judgments. That’s all there is to say about the match.
However, the real reason for my loss yesterday was a long list of bad habits I picked
up months away before the tournament. In easier words, I slacked off. It is as
simple as that. Top quality players obtain results through hard work and
countless amounts of play-testing, discussions, and personal methods they have
to improve. What they achieved in months I “tried” to duplicate in a matter of
weeks. This is not an excuse nor is it complaint for some sort of
justification. I am sharing this because I feel it would benefit others.
The case above clearly shows how taking shortcuts wouldn’t
amount to any real results. I had as much time and probably as much commitments
as others but the end product differs so remember this, if you want to be on top
of your game do not ever try to do things the easy way. Hard work and effort IS
the key to becoming successful. You may be good but once you slip off you lose
the edge you have. I had my own killing fangs but I lost my predatory senses
(call it exaggeration if you want but truth be told that’s how reality is.) As
for now, I remain a rookie in the YGO competitive scene and my first real success
continues to remain elusive. But I will be back and the next time things will
end up different.
Last but not least, shout outs to HLG’s great performance in
Malaysia Asia Championship Qualifiers 2013! Check out their Facebook page for
event coverage. Also, thank you GQ for mentioning me in your post (appreciate
it a lot.) We will continue to work on Hieratics to make it a fearsome weapon
once again. Much discussion and play-testing is needed. I still hold on to my
dream of making it to the top tables with Hieratics. I might stop blogging for
a bit as part of my new method of improvement but we shall see how things go
about. Thank you for reading!
Never give up, Son of men!!
